• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Both true and false

Answer: (A)

Historically Black fraternities were formed to support Black students during times of segregation and discrimination, focusing on academics, leadership, and service. Alpha Phi Alpha was founded in 1906 at Cornell University by Black male students and is widely recognized as the first intercollegiate historically Black fraternity. Because of that origin and mission, the statement is true. The other options don’t fit because they contradict the well-documented Black-heritage and founding history.
